Hello everyone!
This novel has some major flaws. In my opinion, the greatest flaw is unrealistic gamers and lots of small flaws due to that.
List of core flaws:
1) I would like to notice that gamers are not playing closed beta. Closed beta is a paid job where people are testing everything to find bugs. Closed beta testers can not post anything or disclose any information. We can let it slide thou, there are different companies out there. Untested game capsules from unknown game company... aren't it insanely suspicious?
2) In this novel people are complaining about bugs which is quite strange. For example WOW has bugs after each new update (since vanilla till BFA ^^ ), which is common for such huge game, and people are complaining and insult developers *in beta* ... aren't it absurd? Same for servers maintance.
3) People are not worried about lack of feedback and support mechanisms (again it is BETA testing!)
4) People are offering money for in game currency.
4.1) Looking at insane prices, real testers would have submited a report and wait while all prices would have been reduced (like in most betas).
4.2) In all betas that I know, all beta progress stays in beta, and real game is real game.
4.3) It is BETA, you do not play it, you test a game.
5) It is BETA testing! Developers ask for beta testing, not players. Most gamers can not play for more then 2 hours per day, and even those who can, usually refuse to play unrefined games. So thousands beta requests is kinda...
Basic minor flaws are from biology. Let us take for granted that goblin is equal in strenght to a common human male. If human mine ore, excavate stone, cut something, etc he get bruises and small cuts. Without gloves even tough skinned man can not really mine or drag something without inflicting self damage. And now let us remember that tools are rude and have no handle... So goblins are tough as hell (more like made from steel ^^ ) or Demon Lord heals them every 2-3 hours (or they will just bleed to death).
I can continue, but this review is already far too long.
Thank you for your time and have a great day!
